Stranger Things 2 is at the top of the pop culture pyramid right now. Most fans probably binged it over this past weekend, coming out of a loving haze feeling like they just actually escaped The Upside Down. So what do you do now (other than rewatching it of course)? Where do you get your nostalgic look at kids encountering and adventuring into the supernatural and unknown? Well if comics are your thing (and if they aren’t what ARE you waiting for?) then check out the following three comic book series that will help curb your jones until the Duffer Brothers and Netflix inadvertently take us back to Hawkins, hopefully by next year!
You can find all these books at your local comic book shop.
3Plutona
Writers: Jeff Lemire & Emi Lenox
Artist: Emi Lenox
Published by: Image Comics
Plutona is another Image Comics title and its concept is brilliant. What if a group of kids found the dead body of the world’s greatest superhero laying in the woods? The story takes that Stand By Me idea and amplifies it through the lens of superhero comics. Like Paper Girls it gets added strength from strong, young female characters and has some beautiful and original art by co-creator Lenox. It also doesn’t rely on just a concept, as we have backup stories and glimpses that tell us who Plutona was and what might have happened to her.
